Senate rejects resolution to end Iran war as GOP splits

2026-09-24 10:00 UTC – 2026-09-25 07:42 UTC

Neutral summary

The U.S. Senate on Thursday rejected a resolution directing President Donald Trump to end the war with Iran or seek congressional approval. The vote was 50-49, with four Republicans — Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Rand Paul and Thom Tillis — joining Democrats in support. Sen. John Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote no. The measure, which passed the House in July, failed amid growing public frustration over the nearly seven-month conflict and rising gasoline and diesel prices. Republican senators including Jon Husted, Dan Sullivan, Roger Marshall and Pete Ricketts have publicly voiced concerns about the war's costs ahead of the midterm elections. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in a Fox News interview that it is up to the United States to decide whether to end the conflict, adding that Tehran does not seek war. Oil prices rose, with Brent up 3.41% to $106.60 a barrel and WTI up 2.65% to $94.61, according to CNN Brasil. Iranian airlines are losing international routes due to new U.S. sanctions, Gazeta do Povo reported.
